Editors' Review

Interested in creating your very own detailed family history complete with photos, sounds, and videos? My Family Tree by Chronoplex Software is a free genealogy application designed to help anyone do just that.

The software, which supports standard GEnealogical Data COMmunication (GEDCOM) files, presents an appealing and easy-to-understand interface. There is also a Help file to aid the user in putting the genealogy software through its paces. You can build your family tree from scratch or edit an existing one. The information for every individual is very detailed and it allows the upload of audio, photos, and videos for that specific person. The app is able to generate reports for specific individuals (relations, life stories) as well as overall family statistics (births, deaths, marriages, ages, and children).

We found My Family Tree to be very useful and informative. We found no issues with installing or removing the application.

Publisher's Description

My Family Tree is our genealogy product aimed at both the novice and advanced family historian. With its modern user interface and wide range of features, My Family Tree will help you create your family tree in no time at all. It features include simple flexible workflow, visualize, and interact with your family tree and conveniently store all your research in a single file.

So read the screen before you go blithely clicking on "Continue" - yes, you will get bloatware/adware/whateverware if you don't read the directions. There is on each screen, however, an option to avoid downloading what you don't want of the add-ons!

My Family Tree has a range of options available; allowing a person to keep it simple or provide as much detail to each family member as they may like. The interface is simple enough while still providing an interesting and detailed look at your family tree. As a writer I primarily use it to keep track of fictional family trees and have found it to be very helpful in keeping track of a range of details.

Cons

The number of options felt a little over-whelming at first, but were easy to overcome once I dove in. After working with it a few times I quickly appreciated the extras available.

I'm not sure where you found this for the Kindle Fire but this one that you put a review on is marked as for windows only so if you tried to download this one and use it on your Kindle Fire then it will not work because it's for windows and your Kindle Fire runs a completely different Operating system.
